COLLATERAL CIRCULATION CHARACTERISTIC BASED ON CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT) IMAGES IN HYPERACUTE STROKE
Author(s): Nur Hasanah ALI*, Ahmad Sobri MUDA, Mohd Fandi Al-Khafiz KAMIS, Abdul Rahim ABDULLAH, Norhashimah MOHD SAAD and Nur Faizah ALI Good collateral circulation flow is a promising outcome for ischemic stroke patients. Collateral circulation is the vessels that flow in parallel to each other, perfusing the same target tissue. Different patients are shown to have different statuses of collateral. Good collateral circulation is expected to give significantly better clinical outcomes for stroke patients including acute stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy. Modern multimodal imaging techniques have encouraged neuroradiology to assess collateral flow. This paper presents the basic overview of CBCT technology and compares the usefulness of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) based on working principles, performance, cost and applications. In addition, the overview of collateral circulation and its characteristics will be discussed. In assessing collate.. Read More» DOI: 10.54615/2231-7805.47307
